Okay, it's fap time so:

Walker - Brown - Tatum - Grant - Turner
Smart - Nesmith - McDermott - Wood - Theis
Pritchard - Romeo
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

i dunno, i'm still kinda at myles turner is overpaid and underwhelming.
he's like the anti-theis, puts up stats but does none of the dirty work.

still, it's a solid return for gordon.

I'm easily swayed lol.

Nothing against Turner per se, but generally speaking, I adhere to the idea of not paying bigs that much money unless you're getting a top 5 big. I can see a scenario where he's underused in Boston since our strength is still in our wings and his impact on defense isn't that far better than Theis's.

Christian Wood seems like he could be super theis or theis + or diesel theis

Fap time really? What would the average age of this group? We need some solid veterans not just rookies and feel good stories. Or we'll be stuck in nowhereland forever.

Smart, McDermott, Wood, and Theis are veterans, though. That would be 10x the bench we had this past season.

I could settle for Warren + Lamb then re-route Lamb to Pelicans for Hill (SWC''s idea). Sign Baynes or Favors with full MLE.

Kemba / Brown / Warren / Tatum / Baynes or Favors
Hill / Smart / Nesmith / Grant / Theis

Turner doesn’t rebound for sh*t, he makes Lamarcus Aldridge look like Wilt Chamberlain. And he’s a decent perimeter shooter, not an especially good one. His defense is borderline elite, though. Stick him in the corner and open up driving lanes, have him anchor a top 5 defense. Not bad.

What are the alternatives? Gordon walks to Atlanta? Drummond?

The only real downside is that we’d be recreating the pathetic FIBA team with Brown, Tatum, Smart, Kemba and Myles

Are they? As a Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown would you take their advice to heart? I seriously doubt that.
